The highly awaited Nothing Phone (3) has now been officially confirmed, with a global debut set for July 2025. India will be among the first to receive the device, thanks to an exclusive partnership with Flipkart.
Marketed as the brand’s first true flagship, the Phone (3) is poised to take on major players like the Samsung Galaxy S25, OnePlus 13, and Xiaomi’s 15 series. With upgraded internals, sleek design, and AI-driven features, Nothing is clearly aiming to disrupt the premium smartphone segment once again.
Launch
Nothing has confirmed a July 2025 launch for the Phone (3), staying consistent with its previous release cycles. The announcement came via the company’s official X (formerly Twitter) page, accompanied by a cryptic visual focused on the number ‘3’.
While an exact date hasn’t been disclosed, the timeline lines up with the Phone (1) and Phone (2) launches in July 2022 and 2023, respectively.
In India, the launch will be facilitated through Flipkart, which has already published a dedicated page for the device — confirming exclusive online availability.
Pricing
CEO Carl Pei has confirmed a global price tag of GBP 800, roughly Rs 91,500 in Indian currency. However, the actual India-specific pricing is expected to be lower. The brand has previously positioned its phones strategically in the premium-but-accessible segment, helping it undercut rivals like Samsung and Apple while still offering flagship-grade features.
Features
As for what to expect, the Phone (3) is rumored to introduce a refined premium design, potentially using materials like titanium or high-grade glass. The brand’s iconic transparent aesthetic is likely to continue, but with even more polish and attention to detail.
Performance is also getting a serious boost. Early leaks suggest high-end processors such as the Snapdragon 8 Elite or MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ might be in play. This would be a significant leap from the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 used in the Phone (2), promising faster speeds, smoother multitasking, and more robust gaming performance.
On the software front, Nothing is expected to double down on AI. The new iteration of its Essential Hub could bring smarter personalisation, streamlined automation, and deeper system integration — all powered by AI.
Certification
Adding fuel to the rumors, a new device with model number A024 has received BIS certification in India. While not explicitly named as Phone (3), the model is widely believed to be it. Internally codenamed “Metroid,” the numbering deviates from previous models (A063 and A065), hinting at a possible new direction or product rebranding.
Competition
Nothing seems to be gearing up for a serious fight in the flagship space. With high-end components, refined software, and a design-centric approach, the Phone (3) is shaping up to compete head-to-head with the likes of Samsung, OnePlus, and Xiaomi.
If pricing is kept competitive — especially in the Indian market — the Phone (3) could emerge as the unexpected flagship killer of 2025.
With its unique identity and focus on user experience, Nothing is clearly aiming to carve out a bigger slice of the premium smartphone market. Whether for loyal fans or new converts, this device is one to watch closely.
